Come Tumbling Down

3.5
I feel weird about this installment in the series. I loved the first two books, was iffy on the third, and didn't like the fourth at all. This one was...weird. It reminded me a lot of Beneath the Sugar Sky in the quest/plot-heavy aspect. I didn't love it in that one and I didn't in this one either. I think in the quest stories the length of the novels work against them. I wanted more time and development with Jack and Jill, Jill especially. I'm not sure in what way, but the ending felt rushed and left something to be desired. That being said, I loved being back with these characters, Jack was a horrific delight, Jack and Alexis's relationship was so cute and gay and I'm in love with it. I thought Jack's OCD was really well done. Overall, I liked it, but Down Among the Sticks and Bones will always be my favorite.
